If this is the case then you will be unable to use your name without changing it. NEVER name yourself after an artist, band or group who have already been signed and are still currently signed especially when their identity is so popular that the name itself has become a trademark.

This can be achieved by shortening or changing the spelling i.e., Janet Jackson could become Jane Jackson, J. Avoid company and product names - it's unlikely that they will give you free products in exchange for the advertising and if the name has been Trademarked you could be sued!

Such a designation will surprise the hordes of commuters from Milngavie who rush the three miles down Maryhill Road to Central Glasgow each day, leaving nothing behind but the pollution from their cars for the local weans to inhale.
